Summary

Central Intermediate School is a public school in Roxana serving 365 students in grades 3–5 and is part of Roxana CUSD 1. The clearest academic concern is fifth grade: in 2025–2026, 17% of students were proficient in math and 30% in science, about 20 and 17 percentage points below state results, respectively.

Central’s all-grades ELA result is stronger than that of the nearby same-grade-span peer, East Elementary School: 46% versus 39%. Their math results are essentially even, at 29% and 30%. Compared with the state, Central is about 10 points behind in both ELA and math; compared with its district, math is a relative strength (29% versus 27%), while ELA is slightly lower (46% versus 48%). Fourth-grade ELA is a brighter spot, at about the state level. Fifth-grade math, however, is lower than at East Elementary (17% versus 30%) and Meadowbrook Intermediate School (26%).

ELA proficiency has improved substantially, rising from 25% in 2023–2024 to 46% in 2025–2026, a 21-point gain. Math rose overall from 21% to 29%, but fell from 33% to 29% in the latest year. Meanwhile, SchoolDigger’s overall rating declined from the 40th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 24th percentile and one star in 2025–2026. Its group rankings also show notable differences: SchoolDigger places the school’s effectiveness for White Students at the 4th percentile, down from the 15th, and for Low Socio Economic Status Students at the 15th, down from the 53rd in 2023–2024. Central’s 15.3 student-teacher ratio is above the nearby-school average of 13.2. Its reported share of students free/reduced lunch eligible was 58% in 2024–2025, close to the nearby-school average of 59%; these figures provide context, not an explanation for test results.
